DARCHE 270 AWNING INSTALL | WHY I DECIDED TO SWAP OUT MY IRONMAN AWNING FOR DARCHE |
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2022
- installed the darche 270 awning, it was a very easy quick process and the set up of the 270 awning was so easy compared to my 2.5m x2.5m iron Man awning that took 2 people to set up. the darche is easy for 1 person to set up as its a free standing awning, although it is still recommended to fold the poles down to give it support.
Yep gotta agree. That’s one super slick awning. Heaps of cover, quality canvas and built in legs that drop down to help stabilise it once tied down. Thanks for the vid as you have prompted me to go have a closer look at that one. Cheers 🍺
Awesome!
Looks good! Definitely worth throwing some washers under those mounting nuts to help spread the load on the bracket and avoid them pulling through. 👍
The 270's are so good, you will get years out of that investment. Nice job!
For sure, better to spend the money on quality that will last years then go for a cheap option
We have the same awning and it's been mostly great.
A couple of tips for you,
Darche make long brackets for platform racks that reach the slot in the next panel, gives it much better support for rough roads.
The cover leaks so you will have to dry the awning if it rains or you wash the car with it on.
I've fitted quick release brackets so I can take it off easily between trips. I used RacksBrax, expensive but are great.There are other brands around as well.
It should be a big improvement, enjoy Moreton.
That looks like a bloody good awning! enjoy Moreton (I know we did, can't wait to get back there!)
Excellent choice and you will love it Enjoy Moreton I went for a weekend and went round it twice exploring top to bottom haha it's like a smaller version of Fraser Island
Well done on the install of the awning it's probably the best mod for camping you can yeah enjoy your trip.
Thank you and definitely gonna be the most used mod on the car for camping!
Turned out nice. Will be a massive improvement space wise compared to the old 2.5m one. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
Thanks, can't wait to use it on moreton hopefully to shield me from the sun and not rain 😅
I like the front wrap around!!
Front wrap around is definitely what sold me on it
I only have a Darche 2.5 x 2.5 side awning. The quality is excellent. Do as you plan and put an extra bolt per attachments to your roof rack. More so for when you deploy the awning. That is a big sail if the wind picks up!
Yeah I've put more bolts in. I'm wanting to extend the bracket out to reach the 2nd rail of the roof rack so it's a lot more supported
Definatly put washers on those nuts mounted to your roof rack. I wouldn't be driving off without them on!
Hey any chance you can send some information about your roof rack system . I can see they are arched to the factory roof rails . Just looking to get one for mine
Great vid
Thanks for sharing, I have the same vehicle and I have interest in it.
I have some questions:
How havy is it ?
How you mount the flat roof ravk when I see that you left the original roof bars rails ?
Nice plenty of cover keeps the sun and rain off
Yes indeed!
Also they look like West tigers soccer shorts haha!
Oh haha there my local soccer club shorts I play for
Always liked the idea of these but like with all awnings what's it like with the wind and rain.
Canvas stretches over time and because of the overall size of that I also would be worried about the stretch and strength
So far I haven't really seen any reviews on them stretching over time but if I do find it stretching I'll post about it
Hi there, greeting from Indonesia. I also have the same type of Awning. The main issue when it's raining is water pool on the center and also the gap between roofrack and the awning house. Maybe you can share if you have a solutions for that.
Hey , just wondering if you've been getting water in the awning when it's packed up ?read that they leak pretty bad which is a shame as I like these a lot
Cheers Craig
Hey, yeah I have read a lot of reviews that say water gets in a bit, but I haven't noticed any water get in. And especially with all the rain we've been getting I've checked it a few times and still haven't noticed any
I’ve got one too cool
Hey! Seen a few reviews of water getting in the darche 270 bag and having to set up and Air out after rain or washing your car….. have you had this issue at all???
Keep up the content!
I did open it up on day and a bit of water did come out of it, but apart from that one time it hasn't happened again. I have heard on a fb page u can buy a replacement bag I think that's better at keeping the water out. But for me it only happened once, I have heard other people say they get water in theirs
This looks like a great option! Do you know if it can mount to three roof bars instead of a platform?
Yeah you would be able to although a platform rack is more secure
루프랙 정보좀 부탁드립니다
Do you need a aftermarket roof rack to put on a awning?
I think u do, you can normally pick some up at a good price 2nd hand
Has it lasted the test of time?
Yeah seems to be going good I use it a bit I did notice last time it did have a little water in the bag but I open the awning bag regularly and check
Hot...!😅
